Start by getting your mind out of the gutter!!!!
I have never been close with other girls/women. Throughout school I had some female friends, but every female friendship I had pretty much fell apart. Girls have a horrible tendency to be catty, malicious, jealous, petty, and in most cases just plain old DUMB!! Plus, I never really understood the whole hair/makeup/ look cute & fake all the time crap. I just always got a long better with the guys.
I like being "one of the guys". I LOVE sports, cars, being outside, and being a sarcastic ass. I always fit in as one of the guys and I was perfectly happy that way. However, it is hard to have guy friends while dating... guys have jealousy issues, even if they say they don't usually.
All of the royal wedding hoopla in the last couple weeks has made being single hard. I am normally ok with being single. I would rather be single than be with someone I shouldn't be with. And I am ok waiting until I find the man that I am meant to spend the rest of my life with. However, all the talk of the happy couple, and then watching the wedding today did make me wish that I had that special someone. I don’t think there is 1 person in the 2+billion who watched the wedding that didn’t say how easy it was to see the love between Will & Kate; and I don’t know any of my single friends who doesn’t dream about finding a love like that. I know I know, I'm wonderful and any man would be lucky to have me.. blah blah blah blah blah.
Today as everyone sat around and watched as Will & Kate showed the world what "true love" looks like, I watched (not gonna lie about that), and was a little jealous. But I realized that I really do have SO much love around me; that romantic love can wait. It feels like the Lord keeps sending me wonderful women to fill my life with beautiful friendships.
One of my female friends from collage and I reconnected when she invited me to this wonderful church. She and I have grown closer over the last year than we were the entire time we were in college (well except the weekend we spent in a tent... but that may be a story for another day)!!
Although there are many wonderful women that I have met through church who have all shown me God's love in many ways, I have made one friend at church who has shown me more about pure Christian love than anyone else. A few people from church asked if I knew her and told me that I had to get to know her.... they were right!! She and I have had similar experiences in life; and she is so full of love, wisdom and compassion!!! The Lord bringing her into my life has been so moving and a blessing beyond words.
A couple of weeks ago at the gym my trainer told me that she had someone that I "just HAVE To meet". I laughed at her and told her that I wasn't interested in being hooked up with anyone. Her response of "No, it's a girl" got an even bigger laugh out of me. My trainer didn't take no for an answer and kept telling me all about this girl that is soooo much like me. Finally I gave in and let her introduce me to a new friend. Lol.... Well the trainer is always right!! Lauren and I hit it off right away and now I have a new gym buddy who will keep me motivated!!!
I am soooo blessed to have such wonderful new women coming into my life and helping me to broaden my horizons and better myself each and every day. Who needs a boyfriend when you can have this much fun with wonderful friends?!?!
